Masahiro Tanaka flies back to New York for MRI on right arm

Arroyo has another year on his D-Back contract, he will try to come back.
If Arroyo somehow gets a bit back on his fastball from the surgery and recovery like some others have had, I could see him pitching into his 40s. He even talked about it on this interview a couple years ago.

BA: To be honest with you, I think I could pitch as long as I can throw the ball 87-88 mph. I don’t know how long I’ll be able to do that. Physically, weight-room-wise, on the mound, I don’t feel much different than when I was 30. I’m 36 now.
The prime of my life, as far as velocity and strength, was in 2006. I was probably throwing the hardest when I first got traded here. I was 88 to 91-92. I don’t get the ball up to 90 mph much any more. I’ve had four outings here in the spring — granted, it’s spring training and there’s not a lot of adrenaline going — and I’ve only hit 89 once. I’ve been living at 87-88.
If I can keep doing that, I think I can pitch as long as I want to. My mind is better. You get more comfortable being out there in jams. You’re not panicking in situations. As time goes on, everything is easier — except keeping your velocity.

Various hernandezeshave made a living throwing mid-80's slop xp
NYY keep finding new and exciting ways to hover at .500. Hoping tanaka has an extended shutdown phase and they're officially out of it by mid august. I know I am the only one who cares in the affirmative about nyy

Masahiro Tanaka has a partially torn UCL and will undergo nonsurgical rehab, New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Thursday night.In a best-case scenario, the Yankees ace will miss six weeks, Cashman said. If rehab doesn't work, Tanaka likely will need Tommy John surgery.

iirc dr andrews (who is actually a james bond villain) usually says "go ahead, try the nonsurgical rehab" before cackling maniacally and then muttering "and i'll see you soon afterward for the ol' TJ" to himself

takashi saito came back from a partial tear using PRP
Saito credited his unlikely recovery from a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow that he suffered in July to a cutting-edge medical procedure, which, to his knowledge, had never been tried on a major league pitcher.

Unconfirmed reports that Dr. James Andrews was seen limping out of the backroom of his lair office, bleeding heavily and with an axe protruding from his left calf. simultaneously, Matt Cain was seen sprinting out of the front door of the building, waving his arms and shouting "call 911! 911! He's lost his mind!". Gunshots and bloodcurdling screams were heard in the building shortly before Andrews and Cain emerged, with some observers noting "evil cackles" from a voice resembling Andrews.

lol
― Bee OK, Friday, 1 August 2014 14:33 (ten years ago) link
an actual quote, this time: "Andrews did reportedly recommend a course of action for the "loose bodies" in Cain's elbow, and the Giants "are digesting it." Presumably, that recommendation was arthroscopic surgery, and if the procedure is deemed necessary, it could cost Cain most of the remaining season."
― Karl Malone, Friday, 1 August 2014 18:23 (ten years ago) link
was gonna say, there's no way andrews let him out of there without recommending ending his season in some way

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Garrett Richards will be out six to nine months after an MRI showed he suffered a torn left patellar tendon, the team announced Thursday.
Richards, who was placed on the 60-day DL, is scheduled to undergo surgery next week. He sustained the injury Wednesday night against the Red Sox while covering first base in the second inning.
